CS:GO not scaling on my Acer KG251Q 144Hz monitor.

[✪ tomczi]

I'm using the Acer KG251Q 144Hz, connected to RX 570 graphics card via HDMI (tried Display Port too). I set the GPU scaling in Radeon Software to "Full Panel" both in game and globally. It seems like my monitor just ignores that, since the game just goes in the middle of my screen, black bars both on sides, on top and bottom. That happens with lower resolutions on 16:9 too. I have tried setting my system res to 1280x960 at 144Hz and then running the game, but that does not work either. The ONLY way I have been able to get it stretched on full screen is by setting the system res on 1280x960 at 59Hz (it changed to that refresh rate automatically, i had to re-set it previously to 144Hz manually) and changing the in-game setting from fullscreen to "windowed fullscreen". Is there any way to bypass this, or am I actually stuck at 1920x1080?

Do you have your monitor set to 144 hz in settings? settings, display, then windows hd colour settings and set it at 144 hz

Yes, I do.

Set your native resolution on the desktop then enter the game and set your resolution of choice. Then go into AMD control panel and set for global the scaling on FULL PANEL and for CSGO on Preserved Aspect Ratio. Then in AMD control panel go to Settings -> Display -> Custom Resolution and put there your CSGO resolution and at the refresh rate set your monitor's native refresh rate. Hit save and close.

Go to steam and in set launch options set -freq 144 -refresh 144 so you force it to be like so and -nofbo (I think it works even if it's from the old'b'gold cs 1.6 where you could remove the blackbars by inserting this command in SLO). Then jump into the game and if you still have the black bars go into your monitor's settings and select the option for FIT or preserve aspect ratio or if you're playing 4:3 then select 4:3 in the monitor and do like so if you're playing 16:9 / 16:10 and so on.

The monitor should automatically fill up the entire space with the game and should also revert back to it's original state when pressing the Winkey or Alt+tabbing out of the game. This is how my monitor works and should yours.

Thank you for your time, will try that!
